Best point made in this thread. Not a good result today and the fact that it is the first game is largely irrelevant - two points dropped is two points dropped and that is what it was today. Excusing it because it is the first game is the kind of mentality that will see us make a slow start again. What is more of an excuse is the disruption to the backline - losing one of them before the game and two during it is unfortunate. In the circumstances, I'll take a point today. Can't say I'm happy, but we'll only be able to tell the significance of this result in May. I really don't think there will be juch between the top 4/5 this season and can see all of them dropping points so perhaps the biggest positive from this result is that it may stop the ludicrous over confidence that some have developed, who seem to think that all we need to do is send 11 players out onto the field and we'll win every game (probably the same people who are responsible for the doom and gloom in this thread). We live to fight another day.

If I remember correctly, Aldridge had come towards the end of the previous season and Houghton came a couple of months into the new one. Just to be pedantic.

Almost as funny as that article from The Evening Chronicle. Only ever rated Kuyt at 5m my a***. As if they were ever going to get him for that.

Don't think that moving Carragher over to right back would be the best myself as it means disrupting two areas of the team instead of just the one. Don't get me wrong, I think Carra could easily do a good enough job for us there but it means relying on Agger staying fit to cover at centre back. If he got injured as well then it would have to be Palletta, who did ok at times pre-season but probably didn't look quite ready. If selling Kromkamp is necessary in order to bring Kuyt in then fair enough, needs must, but ideally we need recognised cover for right back which doesn't involve shifting people around elsewhere. Could Peltier do it?

I'd have thought part of the reason they don't show live games at 3 on a Saturday is too keep the viewing figures high - fewer people will be watching if there are about 40 other League games taking place at the same time because people will be at them, so they show the games at a time when more people can watch. I never watch any Sky games other than Liverpool but I know that loads of people do, including lots of fans of lower league clubs I'd imagine.
